scripts/ci/validate_test_execution_registry.py fails on main right now:

Python test execution registry validation failed:
  - tests/test_ci_actionlint_covers_every_workflow.py: test exists but has no execution registry entry
  - tests/test_ci_app_host_result_accounting.py: ...
  - tests/test_ci_selective_layer_wiring.py: ...
  - tests/test_ci_workflow_guards_are_wired.py: ...
  - tests/test_ios_screenshot_capture_guard.py: ...
  - tests/test_ios_upload_array_expansion.py: ...
  - tests/test_merge_xcstrings.py: ...
  - tests/test_release_homebrew_gate.py: ...
  - tests/test_tui_publish_dispatch_budget.py: ...

The "test exists but has no execution registry entry" check is unconditional — it does not depend on --base-sha — so guards / workflow-guard-tests / preflight is red on every pull request regardless of what that pull request touched.

Five of the nine arrived with pull requests merged today (#13666, #13673, #13677, #13696, #13701) and four did not, so this is drift the registry is designed to catch, arriving faster than entries were added.

Resulting behavior

All nine run on a Linux runner, so all nine take the linux-guard lane:

workflow that runs it tests
ci-guards.yml test_ci_app_host_result_accounting, test_ci_workflow_guards_are_wired, test_ios_screenshot_capture_guard, test_ios_upload_array_expansion, test_merge_xcstrings, test_release_homebrew_gate, test_tui_publish_dispatch_budget
testbox-broker-guard.yml test_ci_actionlint_covers_every_workflow
ci-artifact-transport.yml test_ci_selective_layer_wiring

Runners verified rather than assumed: testbox-broker-guard.yml and ci-artifact-transport.yml both declare runs-on: ${{ vars.LINUX_RUNNER || 'blacksmith-4vcpu-ubuntu-2404' }}, and test_merge_xcstrings sits in ci-guards.yml's preflight group.

test_ios_screenshot_capture_guard.py was the one with no execution path at all. It arrived with the screenshot fail-fast fix in #13675 and no workflow has ever run it. It joins release-ios beside the other iOS guards. It handles a missing ruby by printing a skip rather than failing, so a Linux lane suits it.

One validator change

The linux-guard check required the test to appear in ci-guards.yml specifically:

if lane == "linux-guard":
    if path not in guard_text:
        errors.append(f"{path}: linux-guard lane is not referenced by ci-guards.yml")

That rejects two of these even though they demonstrably execute on every pull request. testbox-broker-guard.yml carries no path filter on purpose — its own comment says "a path filter is exactly the thing a change that moves the guard could slip past" — and ci-artifact-transport.yml owns its own lane. Neither is a weaker execution path than ci-guards.yml; both are arguably stronger, since ci-guards.yml runs behind ci.yml's change routing.

The check now asks whether any workflow runs the test, which is the property the lane is actually asserting. It is not a loosening: an entry naming a test nothing runs is still rejected. Verified by temporarily moving tests/test_vm_scp.py to linux-guard:

- tests/test_vm_scp.py: linux-guard lane is not run by any workflow

Validation

validate_test_execution_registry.py now reports:

Python test execution registry valid: 218 tests
(legacy=81, linux-guard=76, macos-cli-no-socket=48,
 macos-cli-no-socket-post-fish=11, macos-shell=1, macos-shell-fish=1)

Entries are inserted in position within the manifest's alphabetically sorted tail, so that region stays sorted; the diff is additive only and tomllib parses all 218.

Also passing: test_ci_workflow_guards_are_wired.py, test_ci_actionlint_covers_every_workflow.py, test_ci_guard_workflow_structure.py, test_ci_release_guard_structure.py, test_ci_app_host_guard_structure.py, test_ci_quality_guard_structure.py, test_ci_source_lint_guard_structure.py, test_ci_linux_guard_routing.py, test_ios_screenshot_capture_guard.py, and the two test_ci_change_areas.py cases that cover this validator and the guard Python scope. actionlint is clean across all workflows.

Noted, not done

34 of the 81 legacy entries name a test that some workflow already runs, so roughly 42% of the migration inventory has a discoverable execution path today. Promoting them is not mechanical — the lane has to say where a test runs, and several of these execute on macOS lanes rather than Linux, so mislabelling them linux-guard would make the manifest lie. That is a per-entry judgement and belongs in its own change; legacy is documented as exactly this holding pen in the meantime.

Summary by cubic

Fixes the test execution registry validation that was failing the preflight guard on every pull request regardless of what it touched, by registering nine tests main didn't know about.

  • Registers the nine tests in tests/test-execution.toml under the linux-guard lane.
  • Wires test_ios_screenshot_capture_guard.py into ci-guards.yml; it previously had no execution path at all.
  • The linux-guard check now accepts any workflow that runs the test instead of requiring ci-guards.yml, since testbox-broker-guard.yml and ci-artifact-transport.yml also run guards; entries naming tests nothing runs are still rejected.

Written for commit f283ff4. Summary will update on new commits.

…bout

scripts/ci/validate_test_execution_registry.py fails on main right now: nine
files under tests/ exist with no entry in tests/test-execution.toml, and the
"test exists but has no execution registry entry" check is unconditional, so
the preflight guard group is red for every pull request regardless of what it
touched.

Five of the nine arrived with pull requests merged today (#13666, #13673,
#13677, #13696, #13701) and four did not. All nine run on a Linux runner, so
all nine take the linux-guard lane:

  ci-guards.yml           test_ci_app_host_result_accounting
                          test_ci_workflow_guards_are_wired
                          test_ios_screenshot_capture_guard
                          test_ios_upload_array_expansion
                          test_merge_xcstrings
                          test_release_homebrew_gate
                          test_tui_publish_dispatch_budget
  testbox-broker-guard    test_ci_actionlint_covers_every_workflow
  ci-artifact-transport   test_ci_selective_layer_wiring

test_ios_screenshot_capture_guard was the one with no execution path at all:
it arrived with the screenshot fail-fast fix in #13675 and no workflow ever ran
it. It joins release-ios, beside the other iOS guards. It degrades cleanly
where ruby is absent, printing a skip rather than failing, so a Linux lane
suits it.

The validator required a linux-guard test to appear in ci-guards.yml
specifically, which rejects two of these even though they demonstrably execute
on every pull request: testbox-broker-guard.yml deliberately carries no path
filter, and ci-artifact-transport.yml owns its own. The check now asks whether
any workflow runs the test, which is the property the lane is asserting. An
entry naming a test that nothing runs is still rejected -- verified by
temporarily moving tests/test_vm_scp.py to linux-guard, which fails with
"linux-guard lane is not run by any workflow".

Entries go into the alphabetically sorted tail of the manifest in position, so
the sorted region stays sorted. The manifest now describes 218 tests.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Validate executable workflow steps, not raw workflow text.

all_workflow_text() concatenates complete YAML files, and the later membership test treats any textual mention of path as proof that the test runs. A path in a comment, trigger filter, disabled step, or metadata field can satisfy the linux-guard check without executing the test. Parse the workflow and inspect executable run commands, including the relevant matrix or condition, before accepting the entry.

`tests/test-execution.toml` requires an entry for every `tests/*.py`, and the
preflight validator fails on any unregistered file no matter which pull request
is being checked. A test that lands on main without an entry therefore turns
every open pull request red until somebody registers it. That happened three
times today: #13615's landing left 9 unregistered tests (#13710), then
`test_ci_r2_cache_census.py` (#13731), then `test_cmux_settings_jsonc.py` and
`test_sync_test_wiring.py` (#13739).

This commit adds the regression only, so CI shows it red before the fix.

* test: prove the execution registry validator reddens unrelated pull requests

`tests/test-execution.toml` requires an entry for every `tests/*.py`, and the
preflight validator fails on any unregistered file no matter which pull request
is being checked. A test that lands on main without an entry therefore turns
every open pull request red until somebody registers it. That happened three
times today: #13615's landing left 9 unregistered tests (#13710), then
`test_ci_r2_cache_census.py` (#13731), then `test_cmux_settings_jsonc.py` and
`test_sync_test_wiring.py` (#13739).

This commit adds the regression only, so CI shows it red before the fix.

* ci: fail only the pull request that adds an unregistered test

The validator now compares `tests/` against the merge base with the pull
request's base commit. A test file with no registry entry is a hard failure
only when this branch added it; one that was already unregistered on the base
branch becomes a warning, printed as a GitHub annotation and a step summary
note, so an unrelated pull request stays green.

Everything a branch can only break by editing the registry itself stays a hard
failure: entries pointing at missing tests, malformed or duplicated entries,
unsupported requirements, manual entries without a reason, and lanes no
workflow invokes.

The failure now prints the exact TOML block to paste. When a workflow already
runs the file directly, the block names `lane = "linux-guard"` and cites the
workflow it derived that from; otherwise it lists the live runner lanes. CI
never writes the registry itself.

* ci: drop the duplicate test_sync_test_wiring registration

#13738 and #13739 each added a `[[test]]` block for
`tests/test_sync_test_wiring.py`. The two merged cleanly and left main with the
test registered twice, which the registry validator rejects, so every open pull
request is currently red on `guards / workflow-guard-tests / preflight`. Both
blocks were identical; this removes the second one.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* ci: warn instead of fail on a duplicate registration the base branch already has

A duplicate entry was treated as something only the pull request at fault could
produce. Today showed otherwise: two pull requests each registering the same
test merge cleanly into a duplicate neither one wrote, and it reddens every open
pull request exactly like an unregistered test does.

The validator now reads the registry at the merge base. A path already
duplicated there warns; a duplicate this branch introduces still fails. Parsing
moved into `parse_registry(text, label)` so the base revision can be read
through `git show` without a file on disk.
